Klappentext

In Jones's sequel to Frontline, set in the interwar period, his cast of characters experience the various effects of postwar pressures in the UK: economic, social and political.
Some take serious paths, committing to causes of the era (workers' rights, votes for women, an independent Ireland) while others seek frivolity and excess via the burgeoning 'bright young things' scene. All the while they care for family members: young, shellshocked, or ailing.
The book continues with an important concern of the first: medical advances throughout the period (of which there were many, including vaccines), especially via central characters Will and Grace, who are now young parents and both working in the medical field.
